VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE IMPROVES AFTER MULTIMODAL NEUROREHABILITATION

Abstract

Event Abstract Back to Event VASOVAGAL SYNCOPE IMPROVES AFTER MULTIMODAL NEUROREHABILITATION Frederick R. Carrick1* and David Traster1* 1 Carrick Institute, United States Background: We describe a 11 year-old male who presents with a history of vasovagal syncope. Accompanied symptoms include dizziness, nausea, headaches, depression, anxiety, photophobia, and hyperacusis. Methods: Comprehensive neurological examination revealed positive Rhomberg’s test to the left. The patient demonstrated a decreased left patella reflex and hyperacusis on right. The patient participated in a ten day neurorehabilitation program that included a canalith repositioning maneuver, off-vertical-axis-rotation vestibular rehabilitation, specific oculomotor rehabilitation exercises, passive complex figure eight movements of the upper extremity and visual hemifield stimulation. Results: A significant improvement in balance, headache, dizziness, photophobia, hyperacusis and anxiety was recorded. Conclusion: The patient saw significant improvements following a multimodal neurorehabilitation regimen. Further investigation into an integrative neurorehabilitation program for the management of post-concussion syndrome is recommended.
